On the Chicago Board of Trade Saturday
Listlessness Succeeded the Pre-
vious Great Excitement.
The Trading in Wheat Alone Did Not
Amount to One Tenth of Its
Usual Volume.
Only One Good Deal Made in the July
Option, and the Grain Pits Almost
Deserted.
Transactions in the Financial Circles
of Wall Street.-The Gen.
eral Markets.

CuIcAso June 1S-Both the wheat and
Porn were almost deserted to-day and trading
in wheat did not amount TO tenth OF It's
usual volume. The only transaction To-Day
of any note was purchase of 400, 600 bush
els of july The effect of this purchase was
TO send wheat to its highest point of the day.
JULY opened shade lower ut I2Iac, but after
the first furry became steady around T24c.
Later on when the large purchase mentioned
was made. it advanced TO 73c, and became
firm and held so for the remainder OF the ses-
sion, closing at 72s4c. June opened at Tic
and closed at 11I2c, the highest figure OF the
day. The receipts of wheat continue quite
free. Wheat engagements. however, were
made for $1,000 bushels, and rapid
decrease of the amount in store is looked
for. Corn opened firm and higher, owlngto the
reports of hot and dry weather i'll the west
July opened at 37l4c and advanced TO 31l20
31ssc. After the first effects of the crop
scare had worn Off corn eased back little,
July closing at 3TSsc. The effects OF the hot
weather report was even more marked ON
oats than on corn. 1t was said that oats
were looking very bad over quite an extent
of territory. July opened at 26Isc, advanced
2Ssc, but later, in sympathy with the general
dullness prevailing in the other markets, re-
acted TO 26Ss@l26l2c. A dull, weak and I'M
settled feeling prevailed in the provision
market and trading was light. The receipts
of hogs were moderately free for the closing
day of the week, and the prospects were fay
orable for good arrivals at all Western points
during the coming week The longer deliy-
= eries-August and eptember-appeared to
attract most attention. Inquiry for shipment
was light, and sales were meager, as buyers
in
opened at 97.35, sold down to 1928, closed
at S7.32l2.
